SA Express News logoThe San Antonio Express-News’ religion coverage is moving from Saturday’s Metro section to a new Sunday section titled Faith, beginning Aug. 24. 

The new section will provide a reflection of San Antonio’s rich and wide-ranging communities of faith of all sizes. It will reflect the city’s deep historical religious roots as well as its newest faith traditions and will include profiles, question-and-answer interviews and short features.  

Longtime Express-News religion writer Abe Levy will head up coverage, but the section will draw on the newspaper’s other talented writers as well. Story ideas are welcomed by emailing alevy@express-news.net. 

The section also will feature Speak Out columns from a wide cross-section of San Antonians writing about faith. Columns of a maximum of 600 words may be submitted to Levy or to religion@express-news.net.

The newspaper’s weekly Religion Calendar will be included in the Sunday section and will accept submissions for local events. Faith-related events can include special services, lectures, seminars, conferences, musical presentations and fundraisers. Information can be sent by email to religion@express-news.net.  Deadline for calendar submissions is 3 p.m. Tuesdays.

The section also will include articles from around the world on a variety of religious topics.   

The weekly Worship Listings will continue in the Saturday edition, and advertisers may call Mickey Urias, (210) 250-2020.
